Greg Chesson. He designed the uucp g protocol. There was a piece of
networking gear at Murray hill that Greg worked on that every now and
then would fail to connect. Someone modified the message to read "it's
all Greg's fault.". Later the string became an errno, I think for the
Netb file server protocol. Plan 9 still has an EGREG even though it is
a string in plan 9. It now reads "Ken has left the building."
